Fern’s cottage is adorable! It is in a beautiful area, the lawn & gardens are immaculate (the smell of the gardenias is heavenly!), and Bob and Linda are so kind. The cottage itself is sparkling clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the window seat and playing games at the table. It was also super easy to get into Little Rock when we needed to. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful location! The host was gracious and the care for the property was noticed. We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable. Small notable point was that the shower head was phenomenal! Especially after a 20 mile hike in the rain. Close to food, but away from city lights.

This little cottage is a hidden gem. Beautiful, peaceful, and quiet setting tucked away in the woods. Owners were so responsive, kind and gracious. It was the perfect getaway and just what we needed for our short stay in Little Rock.

We loved Fern’s Cottage! So sweet and cozy and the perfect distance to explore in Little Rock but still get out of the city. It was nice and clean, with so many amenities provided and the owners were helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Linda, Bob, and Memphis!

A wonderful place to stay near Little Rock

Very cozy, comfortable, and clean place to stay in a beautiful area in the hills near Little Rock. The hosts were very communicative and easy to work with. The location was conveniently located within a short drive to everywhere we needed to go for the wedding we had traveled to Arkansas to attend.

Lovely quiet cottage

The property is in the perfect location, nestled in the woods but not too far to drive to restaurants or places to hike around. The owners are very kind and helpful, we loved staying here! The bed was comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed.

We had a great two-day stay in Little Rock. The cottage was super clean, tidy, and perfect for what we needed. Everything was provided, from kitchenware to a very functional bathroom. The blow dryer was a nice bonus, and the heated bathroom along with the AC worked perfectly during our stay.The full-size bed was doable, though a queen size would have been a bit more comfortable, but we still slept really well because the area was so quiet and private. We would definitely book again and plan to stay longer next time.The owner was friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient — only about a 12-minute drive to major restaurants and stores. What we loved most was being close to Maumelle Lake for our fishing guide trip.The only small challenge was the paved driveway with our truck. It was manageable, but next time we’ll probably bring an SUV or smaller vehicle for easier maneuvering. Overall, five stars and very glad we found this spot!

Lovely Place to Stay

Beautiful and serene setting with in a cozy guest house next to the main property. Linda and Bob were fantastic hosts as well as the lovely Memphis who occasionally came by to say hi. Perfect stay place to stay that's close to the city while feeling secluded and removed from the city. Definitely would stay again. Highly recommended!
